Look around. The shelves are full of safety. We reject the safe. From the grotesque beauty of body horror to the creeping dread of forgotten folklore, the books we champion are engineered to leave you more awake, more agitated, and entirely alive. We partner with the boldest voices in the indie underground to bring you the stories that bite back. Step into the dark.

Folklore and Flesh: A Dark Folklore Anthology by Willy Martinez
Your ancestors didn’t invent rituals to honor the earth; they invented them to keep the rot at bay.
Folklore and Flesh maps the precise anatomy of a curse. We have stripped the polite veneer off traditional myths to expose the snapping teeth underneath. If you are looking for safe, disposable bedtime stories, look elsewhere. This collection operates entirely on the dread of the body betraying itself—where breaking a sacred law guarantees a visceral metamorphosis
Mad Men Dark Fiction Anthology
A three-story horror short anthology by A.R. Braun, Matt “Love-it or” Leavitt and Willy Martinez.
We start with Matt’s tale, a thought-provoking thriller that causes the reader to question his reality and what he fears within himself. The second tale explores the grotesque juxtaposed with beautiful nature, where the ending unfolds into a horrific dream, waking in even more terrible pain. The third tale is by seasoned horror writer, A.R. Braun – and his diabolical creatures never disappoint! A.R. Braun’s goal is to be on the banned book list; we think this tale may just be evil enough to be considered. A must-read before it does get banned!
Available now at Google Books, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Apple iBooks, Smashwords, and Amazon.


Phantom World by A.R. Braun
Phantom World is a trip into the sick mind of a hard core horror acclaimed author! Here, we will be introduced to unforgiving poltergeists, cute little ghost familiars, newly born ghost-entities learning about the afterlife, a romantic couple stuck in the netherworld, and a few more paranormal experiences you won’t want to miss.
While some of these ectoplasmic beings may come across as innocent at times, their stories unfold in a manner to inform the reader as to why they were not allowed into the heaven, or allowed to have a “peaceful” afterlife.
